Task: Case study

· Individual task

· Read the journal article Díaz-Parra, Ibán, and Jaime Jover. "Overtourism, place alienation and the right to the city: insights from the historic centre of Seville, Spain." Journal of Sustainable Tourism 29.2-3 (2021): 158-175. 

· From the article focus on the definitions and the analysis of the following concepts: alienation and place displacement, appropriation, gentrification, over-tourism, and authenticity. 

· Choose a destination and apply these concepts to analyze it. You may use these guiding questions in your analysis:

o Which are the most relevant stakeholders in the case?

o Does the destination show signs of alienation and place displacement, appropriation, gentrification, overtourism?

o Is the destination authentic? Explain. 

· In your case study, conclude whether tourism in the destination you have chosen is sustainable. In your evaluation, use the broader definitions of sustainability and sustainable tourism discussed in class (see slides).

  • Predict      the evolution of these concepts in relation to social, environmental, and      economic issues discussed in class such as poverty, waster access, food      access or access to education and health. 
  • Propose and      defend an approach that you believe may help the destination develop a      more sustainable form of tourism. Alternatives are the top-bottom      approach, community-based approach, regulatory approach, marketing and      market-based approach. You may choose a combination of approaches.

· Contextual information:

o Regarding the article of Díaz-Ibara & Jover (2020) focus on the theoretical framework and conclusions, it is not necessary to read the methodological part.

o Base your discussion of the concepts on the article of Díaz-Ibara & Jover (2020) and the following resources which will be discussed during the semester. These resources are all available in your EBSCO Library (Moodle). You may also do additional research if it is necessary.
